Arsene Wenger believes Jack Wilshere is ready for England duty after playing 68 minutes in Arsenals 4-0 victory over Aston Villa. Making his first Premier League start since the final day of last season, Wilshere put in a solid display to give the watching England manager Roy Hodgson plenty to think about ahead of his latest squad announcement on Monday. And Wenger insists Wilshere, who has now played 141 minutes of competitive football since returning from nearly a year on the sidelines, will be fully up to speed should Hodgson ultimately pick him for this summers tournament in France. When asked if the 24-year-old is ready to play for England, Wenger told Sky Sports: Yes, he has shown that again today. He will get stronger and stronger. He has a basic fitness but needs a few games now. He needs two, three games more and he will be ready for England. England manager Roy Hodgson (centre) watched Wilshere in action against Aston Villa Wilshere was straight into the action on his return to the Arsenal starting line-up, combining well with Santi Cazorla as the Gunners took an early lead.He was showing off the full range of his passing repertoire as the Gunners looked to extend their lead, linking up particularly well with Alexis Sanchez. Wilshere missed a golden chance in the first half to mark his comeback with a goal There was a slight worry when Scott Sinclair accidentally stood on Wilsheres foot, but the England midfielder ran off the knock despite appearing to hobble for a few minutes.And just before the break he had the chance to cap his first league start in a year with a goal but could only find the side netting, bringing a wry smile from Hodgson.In the 68th minute, it was a case of job done for Wilshere as he made way for Mohamed Elneny and Wenger insists the England midfielder has no problems ahead of the Euros. Wilshere (left) vies with Aly Cissokho at the Emirates Stadium England is quite lucky on that front, Wenger added. They are a bit unlucky because Danny Welbeck has been hit very hard.Hes an important player for England but on Jacks front there is no problem.

Numbers Game looks at the Mariners landing Robinson Cano. The Mariners Get: 2B Robinson Cano. Cano, 31, has been an elite second baseman, leading the offensive parade at the position. Sicne 2006, his 190 home runs ranks second, as does his .868 OPS and 36.9 fWAR. Clearly, hes been a top tier performer, so its no surprise that he was able to command a lucrative contract as a free agent. In addition to having a pretty sweet swing, Cano has been incredibly durable, missing a total -- total -- of 14 games in the last seven seasons, with more than 650 plate appearances in six of the last seven seasons. Naturally, Cano wont remain this productive as he heads into his late thirties, but the more immediate concern ought to be about park effects, moving from a lefthanded-hitters haven, Yankee Stadium, to cavernous Safeco Field. Over the course of his career, Cano has hit .309 with an .837 OPS in 40 games at Safeco, about the same as his career marks (.309/.860), but four home runs in those 40 games is below Canos career home-run rate (which is one every 6.7 games). While offence is his calling card, Cano has become an asset in the field as well. Since 2009, his 38 Defensive Runs Saved ranks fourth at the position and his Ultimate Zone Rating is above average for that span. The issue, of course, is that Cano is 31 and doesnt figure to be increasing his range as he gets olders so, at some point over the life of this deal, hes pretty much assured to be a liability at second base and then it could be a matter of finding him another position. Where all of this leads is to a certain point of inevitability, that by the time Cano is 37, 38-years-old, on a contract that pays him through age 41, hes not going to be productive enough to warrant $24-million per season. Since 1960, among second basemen that were at lleast 37-years-old, there are a total of four (Joe Morgan, Davey Lopes, Jeff Kent and Craig Biggio) that recorded a fWAR of at least 5.dddddddddddd0, total, after that point in their careers, so its asking a lot for Cano, even if he is going to be a Hall of Famer, to be overly productive through that age. That leaves the potential for 3-5 years of marginal production at the end of the deal. Given the annual cost, thats a pretty steep premium for the Mariners to pay. With Cano in the fold, the Mariners have more moves coming. Nick Franklin, their 2009 first-round pick, showed some promise last season, hitting a dozen home runs with a .225 batting average and .686 OPS in 102 games. Hes just 22 and hit .287 with an .819 OPS in five minor-league seasons, an indication that he should be able to hit at the major league level. Now that Cano is blocking Franklin at second base and Brad Miller is at shortstop, it seems likely that Franklin will be part of another transaction for Seattle, possibly to improve the pitching staff. From the Yankees perspective, they have signed Kelly Johnson, who offers respectable power -- his 79 home runs since 20010 ranks fourth among second basemen -- to a one-year deal and hes a fine stopgap solution. If there is a benefit to be gained by losing the leagues best second basemen, its in the financial flexibility that is gained and how the Yankees might spend money they had earmarked for Cano. If thats merely the Jacoby Ellsbury signing, then its hard to see this as a net gain, but if the Yankees turn around and add more pieces because they have room in the budget to do so, then it becomes easier to justify a fiscally-responsible decision, even if thats the last thing to expect from the Yankees.
